Brady on Sky man’s case seven days on

|

BradyKarren Brady has waited a week to lambast Sky Sports presenter David Jones claiming he misquoted her when criticising West Ham’s form this season.

The vice-chairwoman was upset after Jones told Sam Allardyce in a television interview following West Ham’s 1-0 win over Sunderland last week that she had accused the team of “under-performing”.

Allardyce responded to Jones’ question by saying “She’s wrong. We haven’t been under-performing, we’ve been under-results- getting”.

But after being told that Brady had in fact said the Irons were under-achieving he redirected his fury at Jones, saying that “When I see him next, and I will see him privately, he’d better watch out.”

Brady – in her weekly column in The Sun – weighed in  accusing Jones of lacking professionalism.

She wrote: “Jones scored an own goal, so he should learn to read up on a subject properly before he comments publicly.

“As a non-executive director of Oxford United, he should know better – I suggest reading the small print should be a priority.”

There really are people inside our club who need to learn that some things are best left!

BIG SIGH

    Be better if she just stuck to being a business woman instead of talking football in her column.Why the hell does she need to have a column in the sport section of The Sun anyway.But i guess it is just yet another publicly aired issue between Allardyce & the board.Thought we had enough of that sh*t between him & DS about the Sakho & Carroll transfers.

    Sam appeared more upset about calling her out in public, wonder what he says in private?

    What a load of nonsense – she should keep her big mouth shut and leave the Football stuff to BFS – having said that the team have been under-performing and under-achieving!
